    Where can i get full carpeting for a day cab?

    i'm not talking about floor mats---i'm talking about full wall-to-wall carpeting.

    This is a for a daycab columbia, so i suppose i could cut down a carpet for a sleeper model, but i would prefer not to.

    Also i have the E-Z rider seat, but the passenger seat is "normal."

    LOL Home depot will supposedly install it for you for free!

    There are mats made to custom fit vehicles, I suggest trying Jcwhitney.com

    JC Whitney makes stuff for a FLD, Sprinter and Classic.

    PP,

    I would look into custom work as you can get better quality carpets that are stain resistant, stronger and have a longer life compared to others. Also, if this avenue does not suit you, I would suggest calling local dealers and see if they know of anyone that would suit your needs.

    To do it, as was suggested you can go to a dealer, and get it pre-cut. Or you can go to a carpet store, that knows what kind of carpet you need, and the underlay. You get to remove the seats, and door sills, if you have the old floor mats then use that as a pattern to cut it out. Especially the hole for the shift tower, then you cut and pull to fit. If you strip the cab the carpet store may have someone that will do it for you cheap, or a detailing shop. Just a thought!

    1) i'll take all the reasonable suggestions under consideration:

    a) i haven't had success yet with jc whitney and, truthfully, doubt that i will given whitney's reputation.


    2) This place looks to have a decent product and what i might do is cut it after the sleeper area----they only offer sleeper cab carpeting not just day cab carpeting.

    i also need to know about soundproofing/reduction; What can i put underneath the carpet to help quiet things down?

    a) i'm thinking 3/4 plywood followed or preceded by sound-deadener such as b-quiet, dynamat etc.

    i'm not against doing my own carpet, but mainly i wanted to go with a pre-made to save time/hassle.
